Genshin Impact Begins Age Verification for US Users

Attention all Genshin Impact players in the United States: MiHoYo has announced that you must verify your age to continue enjoying their acclaimed open-world RPG. This mandatory age verification is set to be completed by July 18th, 2025, to comply with new legal requirements. Missing this deadline could result in severe consequences, including the permanent deletion of your account, along with all friends and chat records. Once your account is deleted, you will not receive any further notifications to verify your age, as your account information will be legally inaccessible.

You have until July 2025 to complete the verification process. While the exact method of age verification remains undisclosed, it's expected to be more thorough than a simple affirmation. This move is part of broader legal efforts to regulate younger players' access to games like Genshin Impact.

Gacha! The term 'gacha' stems from the Japanese gachapon machines, known for their money-drawing allure. Games like Genshin Impact employ similar mechanics, where players can spend money to gain in-game benefits. Although savvy players can minimize their expenditure, the gacha system remains a significant revenue model for many games.

This age verification requirement may be particularly challenging for players who don't log in frequently. If you anticipate taking an extended break from Genshin Impact, it's crucial to check in and verify your age before the deadline to avoid losing your account.
